CROPPED

. CROPPED TOPS & CIGARETTE TROUSERS .

This summer has been all about the two piece for me , embracing a number of different co-ord styles in my Zara skirt & jacket duo, my Motel print trouser co-ord and most lately my Zara short suit & ASOS floral cropped top & skirt co-ord. Whilst the focus of all these looks has been on the co-ord, there’s also been another trend hidden within these looks – the cropped top.

The cropped talk isn’t necessarily a trend I absolutely love or often sport, but given the rise of the high waist trouser, skirt or short, a cropped top is ever more appealing to me. Baring a glimpse of midriff opposed to feeling totally naked. This floral cropped top was one half of my ASOS co-ord (which I featured here) and whilst I love it as a two piece (you’ll have spied it in Mondays blog post) I also loved the top as a standalone item too. When the sun was out the other weekend I popped on my floral crop top & ASOS cigarette trousers & headed out for a stroll in the sunshine. My ASOS nude pumps went perfectly, taking the look from day to night, cocktail and sunshine ready.
